Cheers to Friday!!!

We have two tacky sweater parties on Saturday and plans to veg tonight.  Kip has been gone all week for work so I’m excited for a low key date night tonight.  Usually we go out for dinner down the street but I think we may just be lazy and get take out on the couch.  No complaints here!
All of Atlanta was at the grocery store yesterday when I was picking up dinner and I was like “what the heck is going on?!” and then I realized we had possibility of ice and snow, so naturally, Atlanta stockpiles as though they won’t be able to leave their homes for days.  And I, naturally, am off to run errands!

Each day I keep pulling out a little more Christmas decor.  It’s not as much as last year; with Kip traveling all month and then us leaving town before Christmas we didn’t get a real tree this year (tear).
But it just isn’t as fun without the real tree!
So I had been hunting for blue and white ornaments to make our fake tree something special, but kept coming up empty handed.
I found these adorable ginger jar ornaments but they are all out of stock.

and then I came across these ceramic beauties and got all excited, but I just can’t stomach the price. Though they are on sale!

So maybe this just isn’t my year for my blue and white dream tree!
Although please, please send me any ornaments you find that you think would fit the bill! I can always wait until after Christmas when things go on sale for next year! 

I loved listening to Leslie Odom Jr’s Christmas music while decorating and blogging this week.  I love Michael Buble during the holidays, but having some new Christmas is always nice too!

His Winter Song (that he sang during The Victoria’s Secret Show) is so, so great.
Going to be a go-to for Christmas’ to come!

Speaking of Christmas Music, have you heard Sia’s Christmas Album?

Oh. Em.  Gee.  I mean… don’t. But do.  Do go listen.  It kept coming on in Kip’s car this weekend and I was cracking up listening to his reaction and his “Thumbs Down! Why is this on a Christmas Station!”  I can’t remember which songs were particularly hilarious, but it definitely did not put us in the Christmas Spirit.
